Ever talk to yourself? Is it in quiet whispers, loud and proud or in your head? If you were the only one in the world wouldja clam up? WHY?

Why should it matter if you have an audience or don't? Why do you care who hears what needs to be said? Isn't the pleasure in the saying which requires no one hearing?

Or are you all about performing for others and require an audience at all times to perform for and impress? More or less?

    It is called thinking. Some of us do aloud and others in not.

    I tend to do it in my head if people are around. Sometimes a whisper if alone. 
    Sometimes aloud when trying to figure something out. 

    So for me, all of the above.

    It is called INSANITY.  Not thinking at all.

    The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very
    destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly –
    you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your
    mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.

    Me too m2c. All the time. But I'm not sure it's thinking. When I am really thinking I get very quiet and go within and shut everything and everyone out. The talking to myself usually occurs when I don't get something or something is really illogical but folks are swarming to accept it. I don't always assume I'm right and  they're wrong. There are times when stuff really goes right over my head and I don't understand it because of MY limitation not because it doesn't make sense. But I will pay better attention when I'm doing it to see if any real deep "thinking" is occurring. I think you know I'm a retired Internal Auditor. I NEVER talked to myself when I was involved with auditing something. I dove deep down inside myself and the rest of the world no longer existed. I am very good at concentrating. Thank you for your reply though. You could be right. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention to me when I talk to me! :) This post was edited by RosieG at November 1, 2019 3:24 AM MDT

    I talk to myself all the time.  It's nice to have an intelligent conversation.  If you have a cat you're always talking to yourself as they don't listen.

    Everyone talks to themselves in their heads.  Sometimes those conversations become audible as we don't think about it and it naturally comes out.  Some people are lonely and talking to themselves makes them feel like there's another around.  Eventually they get so uses to talking to themselves that they continue to do it even in public (and we think they're weird).  We all bounce ideas off ourselves, and sometimes verbally expressing them can help clarify an idea or problem.

    Hahahahahahaha! Gee Shuhak that is so true. Our beloved Tigger who graced us with his presence for almost 12 years was exactly that cat. I guess there is similarity among them though there are different breeds. But then on occasion he'd climb up in my lap and nuzzle his nose in my heck and I just melted. It never lasted long but it was enough for me to feel "special" at that moment. The older I get the more I talk to myself. I hope I listed. Sometimes what I say is really smart! Sometimes not so much. Thank you for your reply. Just thought of a question. You will know the one.

    Meditation is the release from that noise.  

    Many feel that this inner chatter is insanity.  We all do it, but it is not the way we should operate.  We should not be having an inner dialogue with ourselves.  It is considered a mental disease.  

    We all have the same one.

    The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very
    destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly –
    you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your

    I do it all the time. At least I know that when I do, I can have an intelligent conversation!
